Cowart had waited at the Courtroom
from 2 till p. NJ. / did not keep my
engagement with them, because l hac
been attending the funeral of my
child, and was detained at home by
my sick wife.

language when speaking to me was
what Mexican would call insulting
and that he did not interpret more
than half of it to me, therefore | or
dered Cowart and Consul Brigham
from my residence. On the street the
Consul continued to use violent Ian
guage, and 1, without any weapon,
ran down to him and struck him or

Associated Press Dispatches to the HEsALp
Cry OF Mexico, August 31.-A
great sensation was created to-day by
a leading article in the Monitor Rep,.b-
hcdno, wherein an astounding revela-
ton % the conduct of Emperor Maxa-
milan on the surrender OF the City
OF Queretaro is given to the public.
For weeks past there has been an
acriminious controversy in the news
papers regarding the assured treach-
cry of the Imperial General Lopez in
surrendering the convent of La Cruz
to Queretaro during the siege.
EsCoBEDo's STATEMENT.
The writer declares that General
Escobedo, commander of the Repub-
lican forces, made a report on the mat
ter to the government two months
ago vindicating General Lopez, and
published statement as furnished to
him by one of General Escobedo's
officers, to whom the report to the
government was read.
MAXIMILIAN'S MISSIVE.
On the first is photograph letter
purporting to have been written by
Emperor MaXimilian to Miguel Lopez.
The letter translated reads as follows:
MAJ.-GEN. LoPEz.-We recommend
you to observe profound secrecy re-
garding the commission to General
Escobedo, which we have intrusted to
you, for ii it is divulged our honor
| will be stained. Yours affectionately
May Is, 1867. MAMMALIAN.
TROUBLES OF THE BEsIEGED.
He then describes the situation of
the two armies during the final days
siege. The situation of the besieged
was desperate. They were running
short OF provisions and ammunition,
and were becoming demoralized.
General Escobedo was notified that
one of Maximilian's officers desired
| an interview. Escobedo instantly
granted the interview, and Colonel
Miguel Lopez, one Of Maximilian's ia
vorite officers was introduced to him.
THEY OFFERED 70 SURRENDER.
Lopez said that he was commits
stoned by MaX1mlllan to offer to
Deliver the garrison to Escobedo, on
condition that the latter should allow
Maximilian and his officers to depart
unmolested, that Maxinilian had
already signed his abdication and
would never again meddle in the
affairs of Mexico. General Escobedo
replied that he could make no such
| terms.
BOUND TO COME TO TERMS.
Lopez then declared that he was
authorized to make such terms with
| Escobedo as best he could, and in the
name of his chief informed Escobedo
that the Republican army might oc-
cupy the convent of La Cruz at three
O'Clock on the following morning with
out encountering resistance, and that
Maximilian, in person, would there
surrender himself Internationally.
| THE LEADERS WE'RE SEIZED.
The convent was accordingly seized
without resistance, but MaXimilian did
not comply with promptness. Quere-
taro was then occupied and the Impe-
rialist leaders were made prisoners.

No Evidence Against the Stein's
Pass Arrests.

Tucson, August 31.-C. F. Taylor,
who was arrested in Los Angeles os-
tensibly on a charge of bigamy, but
in reality as one of the Papago train
robbers. had an examination before
United States Marshal Meade and was
discharged, he being able to prove
that he was in Tucson at the time of
the robbery. 1t seems also that there
is not enough evidence to hold any of
the parties arrested at STEMS pass.
AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
A man named Christensen found a
pocket-book in the cave where the
robbers rendezvoued containing forty
gold rings which were in package
taken from Wells, Fargo d Co. on the
